I hadn't realised that they renamed the IM module with the version bump: that means snaps built against older platforms won't load the old (but working) Fcitx 4 module when run on a host system configured with Fcitx 5.
We can certainly look at adding the new IM module to the platform snaps, but that will also switch to the new IPC protocol. From a quick look through the source it will probably be allowed by existing AppArmor rules in the "desktop" interface, but that will need testing. It's probably going to be easiest to see if we can get things working with a core20 based platform snap though, since we have fcitx5 packages there (albeit for a git prerelease version). For the core18 based platform snaps, we would need to backport the fcitx5 packages themselves. Alternatively, I wonder if we could get away with symlinking the old module name to the new one? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of AppArmor Developers, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1928360 Title: Switch to Fcitx 5 for Chinese Status in Lubuntu default settings: New Status in Snappy: New Status in Ubuntu Kylin: In Progress Status in im-config package in Ubuntu: New Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: In Debian 11 Fcitx 5 will be the default IM framework for Chinese on non-GNOME desktops. I can think it's time to make the equivalent changes in Ubuntu 21.10 as well. I'd appreciate input on the topic from the Ubuntu Kylin team as well as other Chinese speaking users.
